All of my HP Envy(s) 'Burn Out' - The machine begins making increased noise, and then later dies.

[rainbowEscapist]

I've owned HP machines for most of my life. I had deskstops when life was less mobile, but now I lead a livestyle that's made it so having a laptop is far more convenient to do my day-to-day thing.

I've had 2 different Envy machines, and the first died after its fan began to fail, about two-three years after I bought it. I bought a second Envy hoping for better results, but the same thing has happened, and I'm not sure where to go from here, nor what is causing my fans to fail--if that's even the issue.

In both cases: My HP Envy was running normally. And then, it began making a lot of noise when it ran. It seemed especially so if it had a lot to process (using Disk, CPU). The first Envy I brought in to a generic computer repair shop, and they blamed it on that I dropped it in its case once, which resulted in small pieces of plastic to get lost in the hardware: specifically the fan, where plastic shards had ended up from the prior collision. He cleaned it out, dusted it, put it al back together, and it was fine.

Until JUST two hours after I took it home: It began making more noise, and then even worse noise than when I'd brought it in to begin with. That machine then died a week or so after, because I used it anyway despite the noise it made.

My second Envy, the one I'm using now, is doing the same thing: But this one hasn't ever been dropped. There's no signs of it having external or internal damage. It's making much more noise compared to after I bought it, and even the year after I bought it. Now it should be nearing year 2-3 of its life, and now it's doing the same thing, but without the same situation.

I'd like to understand what about my computers is failing, and why:

Am I running too intense of programs on it? (I game a lot, and though I run most of them at the lowest settings: Such as Minecraft, League of Legends, Starcraft, and others.)
Do HP laptops simply have a short life? (Relatively, anyway? Or is 3ish years the normal life of a laptop?)
Is there any malware that can cause it to run hard? (I'm just wondering if I'm somehow picking up the same virus/es the previous machine had with my new one.)
Is my fan becoming heatwarped? (If I've noticed anything about both of these laptops, it's that they seem to have very poor ventalation.)
